What Obama yelled to Hugh Beaumont while playing his 95th round of golf
"Fore, Ward!"
The Obama campaign finally released their slogan for the 2012 and it's "Foreward!" To which I say, yes! Forward with the endless supply of material for ridicule!
I like this one: "Was 'Reply-All' taken?"
To which I might add: "Look forward but - for God's sake - don't look back at the past three-and-a-half years." Or "Forward-looking...after blaming everybody in the past."
Or how about this warning of another trillion-dollar federal deficit: "Not to worry! Obama will just, uh, pay it forward. Or rather, we will."
I like the socialist spin: "Just like China's Great Leap Forward, but in America!"
And if you want to get really old-school there's Stalin's Order #227, comrades.
I predict this slogan will go down the memory tube of bad ideas along with Dan Rather's one-word signoff:
Extra - Ace has more along with Gateway Pundit. Forward in the glorious struggle!
More - RNC tweet: "Under Obama's budget, Americans can look FORWARD to $1.9 trillion in higher taxes." Uh-oh, there's another hijacked hashtag.

"What's the frequency, Eric?"
Obama presents a vaporous slogan that confirms the existence of the future and nothing else. While Mitt "It's still about the economy, and we're not stupid" Romney offers a 20-year-old callback, while being oblivious to the irony of his embracing it. Truly we live in the age of titans.
Pffft, Obama! What a sad, empty suit. There hasn't been a stupid "Forward" slogan from a sitting president in almost eight years.
When you're done chuckling, feel free to identify the most substantive and meaningful campaign slogans of the past third of a century.
